Thailand is one of the top travel destinations for Indians. Not only Indians, in fact for the world. There is something great in Thailand for everyone of every age group.
Today we will visit a very beautiful Blue Temple in Chiang Rai whose real name is Wat Rong Suea Ten. The Blue Temple is immediately recognizable for its brilliant shade of rich sapphire. The temple walls, roof, and surrounding statues are all covered in this gorgeous hue, an unusual decorative choice in a country where most temples are made of gold. This color is symbolically associated with purity, wisdom, and the lack of materialism that Buddhists aspire to. The temple is a fascinating fusion of traditional Buddhist values and classic Thai architecture with extremely contemporary design choices. This modernism makes sense — the Blue Temple was designed by Putha Kabkaew, a student of the artist who built the eccentric White Temple. The Blue Temple is known in Thai as “Wat Rong Suea Ten”, or “Temple of the Dancing Tiger”. Another ancient temple once stood here, and tigers are said to have roamed freely over the grounds when it was abandoned nearly a century ago. The Blue Temple as it exists today is brand new by comparison. The local village decided to rebuild the temple in 1996 and began the project in 2005. Construction was officially completed in 2016, but The Blue Temple is still considered a work in progress.
How to Get to the Blue Temple:
From Chiang Rai, the easiest way is by motorbike, taxi or tuk tuk, and the best way to explore all the landmarks around is to hire a guide to drive you and give you valuable information. For a day trip from Chiang Mai, hire a private guide to get the most out of it.
The Blue Temple has no entrance fee, and is open from 7 am to 8 pm every day.
